Once you have registered or logged in, you are taken to your Dashboard. The first thing you will do is set up your profile picture and your cover image.

On your dashboard, click on “Upload Avatar” [blue #1] (Note: If you used an email with Gravatar set up, your Gravatar image will already appear as your Avatar OR if you signed up with Facebook, your Facebook profile image will appear; in either case, you can still change the image by clicking on “Upload Avatar”)

Now, you will see the screen that allows you to either drag your Avatar image over ORupload it from your computer or a jump drive

After you upload your image, it will let you crop it if desired

Save the image

Repeat these steps for “Upload Background” [blue #2]

When you have finished uploading your avatar and background, in the top left of your Dashboard, click “See Public Profile” [blue #3]
